Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland

[h2]Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland [/h2] Like many I bought it out of nostalgia since it was one of the most iconic cartoon in the 90s It’s a fun platformer and it’s a nice addition to the game to be able to play with 4 different characters, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil.

I Checked a bunch of times, somehow this is not a remake? its overused people saying looks like 90s game omigod but its feels like it was produced back in the day, its not underselling. there's like 2-3 things that is missing but the level design is exactly what you would expect back in the day like adams family pugsley on the snes, thank god it has both a nes and a modern hand drawn it really adds up to the charm sadly I could play as angelica but... duh right

Simplistic, has some oldschool jank. I never got particularly frustrated. Fun in remote play together.

I enjoy the game but I wouldn't buy it unless it was 10 or under. its short and has some cheap deaths that feel like a cheap way to increase difficulty.

The Good: This is a solid retro 2d platformer, that appears to take bits of inspiration from games like Super Mario Bros. 2 or Ducktales for NES. You can choose to take on several stages in any order you like, which a nice touch for players who like the freedom of choice. Each of these levels has a boss battle at the end, which are all references to Rugrats, and each fight is pretty fun. There's actually quite a lot of different references, which should satisfy fans of the series. Level design in this game is not perfect, but pretty solid overall. The game also gives you two art style options: an NES-style retro look, or a visual style that looks very similar to the series itself, further adding to the variety of the game. The Not-So Good: The game has some enemies that respawn almost immediately, which can frustrate some players. Also, enemy placements in some areas are occasionally in frustrating spots, which can also frustrate some players. Overall, this is a solid 2d platformer with fun gameplay, and enough references to entertain Rugrats fans.

[h1] the controls are SUPER janky [/h1] no matter how I play (keyboard/controller/SteamDeck) or what I play on (I have the same issue/s on my Nintendo Switch Lite too)
